Injury Report: What’s wrong with Miami Dolphins’ Ndamukong Suh?

DAVIE — Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh left a loss to the Oakland Raiders briefly last Sunday, before returning.

But Suh did not practice on Thursday as the Dolphins began preparations for a Monday night game at Carolina.

Why?

Suh has a knee injury.

Other Dolphins who did not practice were offensive tackle Ja’Wuan James (announced on Sunday as a hamstring injury), defensive back Michael Thomas (undisclosed) and running back Damien Williams and wide receiver Jakeem Grant (both due to illness).

James, seeking a second opinion on his injury, is the fifth-best pass-blocking offensive tackle in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.

After the Oakland game, Suh said: “Unfortunately it’s football. I got tangled up and lucky enough I had the opportunity to come back… You’re going to have to talk to Coach Gase about it and we’ll go from there.”
